Note by the Secretariat 
 
Addendum  
 
1. In paragraph 10.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and 
Concerns (document WT/MIN(01)/17, para. 10.1) Ministers:  
"Agree[d] that Annex VII(b) to the Ag reement on Subsidies and Countervailing 
Measures includes the Members that are lis ted therein until their GNP per capita 
reaches US$1,000 in constant 1990 dollars for three consecutive years.  This decision will enter into effect upon the adopti on by the Committee on Subsidies and 
Countervailing Measures of an appropriate  methodology for calculating constant 
1990 dollars.  If, however, the Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures 
does not reach a consensus agreement on an appropriate methodology by 
1 January 2003, the methodology proposed by the Chairman of the Committee set forth in G/SCM/38, Appendix 2 shall be applied.  A Member shall not leave 
Annex VII(b) so long as its GNP per capita  in current dollars has not reached 
US$1,000 based upon the most recent data from the World Bank." 
2. Pursuant to this paragraph, as of 1 Janua ry 2003, the methodology set forth in document 
G/SCM/38, Appendix 2 applies.   
 3. As foreseen in paragraph 10.1 of the Doha  Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related  
Issues and Concerns  and in application of the methodology in G/SCM/38, the Secretariat informs the 
Committee of updated calculations reflecting:  (i) GNI
1 per capita in consta nt 1990 dollars covering 
the three most recent years for which data are available (2002-2004)2; and (ii) GNI per capita in 
current dollars for the year 2004. 
                                                      
1 The World Bank data series formerly identified as Gross National Product ("GNP") is now published 
as Gross National Income ("GNI").  This change reflects the implementation of the System of National Accounts 1993 ("SNA 93").  Although the underlying concepts are different (GNP being a measure of product, 
and GNI being a measure of income), the values calculated are the same. 
2 Figures for 1990-1999 are as alread y contained in G/SCM/38.  As agreed in G/SCM/38, step 3, values 
of GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for the period 1990 - 1999 are not modified with subsequent revisions 
of the series.  To derive GNI per capita at constant 1990 dollars for 2000,  the growth rates for 2000 over 1999 
at constant 1995 dollars,  derived as foreseen in G/SCM/38 table B, have been applied to the 1999 GNI per capita values in constant 1990 dollars, as set forth in G/SCM/38, table C.  The same methodology has been 
applied to derive the 2004 GNI per capita values in constant 1990 dollars. G/SCM/110/Add.3
